ROSWELL, Ga. -- Georgia Heritage Day came to Holcomb Bridge Middle School for the first time ever last Friday.

Eighth grade students spent the day learning all about Georgia history, from Native American traditions to the invention of Coca-Cola. Teachers Elizabeth McMahon and Jennifer Foil worked hard to bring a variety of exhibits and activities to the school.
